    Ministry of I&B blocks 45 YouTube videos from 10 YouTube channels under IT Rules, 2021

     New Delhi: Based on the inputs from intelligence agencies, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has directed YouTube to block 45 YouTube videos from 10 YouTube channels. Orders to block the concerned videos were issued on 23.09.2022 under the provisions of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021. The blocked videos had cumulative viewership of over 1 crore 30 lakh views.

    The content included fake news and morphed videos spread with the intent to spread hatred among religious communities. Examples include false claims such as the Government to have taken away the religious rights of certain communities, violent threats against religious communities, declaration of civil war in India, etc. Such videos were found to have the potential to cause communal disharmony and disrupt public order in the country.

    Some of the videos blocked by the Ministry were being used to spread disinformation on issues related to Agnipath scheme, Indian Armed Forces, India’s national security apparatus, Kashmir, etc. The content was observed to be false and sensitive from the perspective of national security and India’s friendly relations with foreign States. Certain videos depicted erroneous external boundary of India with parts of J&K and Ladakh outside the Indian territory. Such cartographic misrepresentation was found to be detrimental to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.

    The content blocked by the Ministry was found to be detrimental to sovereignty and integrity of India, security of the State, India’s friendly relations with foreign States, and public order in the country. Accordingly, the content was covered within the ambit of section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

    The Government of India remains committed to thwart any attempts at undermining India’s sovereignty and integrity, national security, foreign relations, and public order.

  • On the arrest, Pappu Yadav said – ‘Nitish wants to infect Corona and get me killed’, RJD activists hit the road.

    On the arrest, Pappu Yadav said – ‘Nitish wants to infect Corona and get me killed’, RJD activists hit the road.

    Political arson continues in Bihar amid the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Police arrested Jan Adhikar Party chief and former MP Pappu Yadav on Tuesday. It is alleged that Pappu Yadav violated the rules of lockout during the Corona period. But in the past, tensions between Pappu Yadav and the state government have increased, with the arrest in such a situation leading to an increase in political temperature.

    After the arrest, Pappu Yadav has also accused the state government of tweeting. He wrote in his tweet that Nitish, Pranam. Do not take the endurance test. Otherwise, the public will take over the system, then your administration will forget the lockdown protocol. I had my operation a month ago, even then I am putting my life at stake. Just got my test, Corona came negative. You want to kill by positive. he,s tweeted.

    “Mr. Nitish
    Greetings
    Do not take the test of patience. Otherwise, the public will take the system into their hands, then your administration will forget all the lockdown protocol.
    I had an operation a month ago. Still saving my life at stake. Now I got tested, Corona came negative. You want to kill positive.”

    After this tweet, Pappu Yadav tweeted another. This time he wrote, If governments should prepare to fight the third wave of Corona, then they are fighting Pappu Yadav. Looking for the case all over Bihar, how to hide your failure by trapping.

    “If governments should prepare to fight the third wave of Corona, then Pappu is fighting Yadav
    Do not compete with us in service, help, saving lives! Why are you wasting time in the conspiracy to trap and send you to jail? Looking for the case all over Bihar, how to hide your failure by trapping.”

    In protest against the arrest of Pappu Yadav, many big leaders of Bihar and the country have issued their statements and have targeted the state’s Nitish government. Not only the Nitish government’s opponents but his colleagues are also seen supporting Pappu Yadav on this issue.

    Who said what about the arrest of Pappu Yadav…

    Lalu Yadav’s son Tej Pratap Yadav, who was a minister in the Bihar government, surrounded the state government on this issue. Tej Pratap tweeted that the robber is arrested here, while iftar happens in CM’s house.

    Kirti Azad of Bihar also opposed taking action on Pappu Yadav. Kirti Azad wrote in a tweet that Pappu Yadav’s double engine is opening the poll of the government, so much action is being taken on him.

    Not only the opponents but also partners in Bihar’s NDA government are questioning this arrest. Jeetan Ram Manjhi of Hindustan Awam Morcha has opposed the arrest of Pappu Yadav by tweeting. Jitan Ram Manjhi has written that if a public representative serves people day and night, even if he is arrested then it is a step taken against humanity.

    Mukesh Sahni, a minister in the Nitish government, has said on this issue that the people’s representative should serve the people by following the Corona guidelines. It is insensitive to arrest Pappu Yadav engaged in service at this time.

    RJD protest in support of Pappu Yadav, demand for Rudy’s arrest

    Not only in statements on Twitter but also on the ground, an atmosphere has been created in support of Pappu Yadav. In Bihar, RJD workers protested and protested Pappu Yadav’s arrest, while demanding that the arrest should be of Rajiv Pratap Rudy, but action has been taken only on the people who are helping Pappu Yadav.

    Not only this, RJD leader Kedar Prasad Yadav got shaved today demanding the arrest of Rajiv Pratap Rudy and said that the movement will continue till Rajiv Pratap Rudy is charged with treason.

    Significantly, in the past, Pappu Yadav had opened a front against BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy in Bihar. Politics heats up when Pappu Yadav raised his voice about some ambulance lying idle by Rajiv Pratap Rudy. A case was also registered against Pappu Yadav for the lockdown violation, but now he was arrested on Tuesday.

  • Ok Computer: A Disney+Hotstar Series  featuring Radhika Apte,Vijay Varma and Jackie Shroff.

    Ok Computer: A Disney+Hotstar Series featuring Radhika Apte,Vijay Varma and Jackie Shroff.

    New Delhi, Disney+Hotstar unveil the trailer of Sci-Fi Comedy Series OK Computer- Starring Radhika Apte, Vijay Varma, Jackie Shroff. This two-and-a-half minute trailer for OK Computer, is created and written by Anand Gandhi, the one who directed Ship of Theseus and Tumbbad. Ok Computer is a series set in the Year 2031 and follows cyber cell agent Hari Kundu (Vijay Varma) who in attempts of solving a pedestrian’s death by a self-driving car, ends up revealing things and information which was not to be discovered. Further adding to story, a robot name Ajeeb ends up in the crosshairs, raising questions above AI three Laws of Robotics, which is whether AI has turned on its creator, and if robots deserve the same treatment as humans.

    Let’s talk more about this trailer:The trailer shows an accident scene, where Hari Kundu (Vijay Varma) says that it is not an accident but is a murder that is done by a robot. In this trailer we can witness robots, flying cars and AI product which is called as Ajeeb. Ajeeb is claimed to be best invention and a prime suspect behind the murder as we noticed a similar idea in Hollywood flick such as I-Robot starring Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan. On one hand the story reminds of similar theme, but the whole persona of the series is around humor, which give this series a little edge. There are some minute details that makes it more funny such as naming technology like robot named Ajeeb, self driven car named NHKL which is pronounced as Nikhil.

    OK Computer release date is March 26 on Disney+Hotstar. Radhika Apte plays robots rights activist and Vijay Varma plays the role of investigating officer. In addition to Varma’s character Hari Kundu, OK Computer characters include Laksmi ( Radhika Apte) a private organisation leader called as PETER for the ethical treatment of robots, Pushpak Shakur (Jackie Shroff) is a maniac who claims to be the “real murderer” in OK Computer trailer, and we also get a glimpse of Rasika Dugal (Mirzapur fame) as someone who seems to have lost her marbels.

    OK Computer is a production of Memesys Culture Lab for Disney+Hotstar and will be releasing with six-episode. Memesys Culture Lab is a joint venture of Ananda Gandhi (Director of Ship of Theseus and Tumbbad), Vinay Shukla( a filmmaker, producer and actor.)

    In a prepared statement Gandhi said,”OK Computer is an attempt to imagine a world of our near-future together, and laugh out loud while we are at it. The show asks one of the biggest questions of this century, if AI commits a crime who should be culpable? It asks this question with madcap humour, zany character and a rollercoaster epic story. It’s been my privilege to offer unprecedented stories to Indian audiences. OK Computer, like my previous work, is a small step in a completely new direction. I hope it opens up floodgates for science fiction entertainment in India.

    In just a few hours of the trailer’s release, it has so far received 209,218 views, and 16K Likes at the time of writing this story. The trailer received huge love from the audience and some of them commented too. One of the user wrote: “From the maker of Tumbbad ,expectations are high”.

    One user wrote: This looks promising, looking forward to see it.

    Another user wrote: irritating and interesting at same time.

    The trailer is filled with all the suspense and drama, but the show stealer of the trailer is Jackie Shroff who wins us over with his ‘Maushi’ dialogue. This six episode series will be released on March 26th 2021 on OTT platform Disney+Hotstar and Disney+Hotstar Premium. It will be available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi and Kannada.
